Don't know if I've ever mentioned it but, I hate Reading.

I love Reading. Wonderful place, fantastic people (except the Omega owners  ::)), great architecture, decent quality of life . . etc etc

 . . . . a customer there just also happens to be one of my very biggest in the whole of the uk   :y

...until March.

Especially junction 10 of the m4 and East Reading. In fact just avoid Reading generally but especially seeing as they're repairing the viaduct over the river lodden on the 329M between the the motorway and the first junction you come to, Reading bound, of winnersh.

...actually, 329M Bracknell bound is a nightmare as well, during rush hour since they built a new housing estate and extra roundabout after the Binfield junction.

Don't know if I've ever mentioned it but, I hate Reading.

Me too, much prefer a good film ::) ::) ;D ;D

Reading Trunks. Top end of the old Basingscrote Road. So prob see if I can get the old A4 back to M4?

Although the NCDC only works when the ABS does, and TomTom is being, well, TomTom, useless bloody thing desperately trying to grow wings and learn to fly, because it knows what's coming next.

Fixed that for you. :y
Had it have been a standalone unit....

....but it was my phone, and I need the phone.

In my working days, I used to have to attend the odd meeting at Microsoft in Reading.

Hated Reading then, thank goodness I never have to go there now.

Thames valley park and Microsoft being the other side of those road works. You would indeed be cursing on the journey too and from.

I'm guessing the last time the Pikey Pensioner did any work, MS were still at Winnersh.

As I had to go the other way, due to M329 SNAFU, I actually passed my comapny's head office as I was finding somewhere to pull over to educate TomTom, and ended up in Amen Corner. Work for them for 9.5yrs, and never been to the place ;D

I flicked them the V's, and drove back along Reading's shitty roads, avoiding the motorway.

Came home via Caversham/Oxford. Slow, but fun at times. It was a pleasant afternoon, so I was chilled and happy to just cruise along :)

On the way in, no more road works on 329m :-\

Although hearing rumours of weekend work on the same stretch.
